在判处Hamiora William Jack-Kino犯有过失杀人罪期间,Mitchell Te Kani的妹妹Paula Beilby在2023年的Tauranga袭击中遇害,她受到谴责,并被禁止返回法庭。
Paula Beilby, sister of Mitchell Te Kani killed in a 2023 Tauranga attack, was reprimanded and barred from returning to court during the sentencing of Hamiora William Jack-Kino, who was convicted of manslaughter.
她试图读读她受害者影响陈述中经过编辑的部分,包括对Jack-Kino单独审判的批评。 Mary Peters法官认为这是不可接受的,指出审判是出于身体健康考虑,而不是特殊待遇。
She sought to read redacted portions of her victim impact statement, including criticism about Jack-Kino’s separate trial, which Judge Mary Peters called unacceptable, stating the trial was due to fitness concerns, not special treatment.
尽管Beilby道歉并声称她只读到经批准的材料,但法官仍然支持根据《受害者权利法》进行的编辑,将她排除在法庭之外,使她感到再次受害。
Despite Beilby’s apology and claim she was only reading approved material, the judge upheld the redactions under the Victims’ Rights Act and excluded her from the courtroom, leaving her feeling re-victimized.
另有九人因这次袭击被判刑。
Nine others were sentenced in connection with the attack.
